Trying out the instrument

This chapter describes some basic functions that you can perform with the
R&S NGL/NGM.
Source and sink current
The R&S NGL/NGM power supply series are 2 quadrant power supplies
which may both source and sink current. When the voltage across the out-
put terminal exceeds the set voltage, current flows into the instrument. The
default behavior "Auto" can be configured in output menu, see section "Out-
put mode" in the User Manual.
On the display, sink mode is shown as negative current. See also
mode" on page 27.

The R&S NGL/NGM displays the home window.
2. Select voltage or current parameter in the home window.
The R&S NGL/NGM displays an on-screen keypad to set the value.
3. Enter the required value.
4. Confirm value with the unit key (V/mV or A/mA).
See "Source and sink current"
ing modes supported in different models.
